This is what Amy had to say about the song in a interview with a Italian magazine in 2006:[2]
“Lose Control” is less easy to explain. You know, when it comes to Evanescence I become really fussy and obsessive: I have to have control of everything, even the smallest details… I’m a “control freak”! I like to evaluate every single decision within the band. Sometimes I behave like this even in my private life and in this song I express, on the contrary, the desire to be less apprehensive and more “loose”, to let things go on their own, sometimes… to not always have the responsibility of everything.
Lyrics
You don't remember my name Just once in my life Mary had a lamb Just once in my life If I cut you down to a thing I can use Ah, ah [Just, to lose control, just once] |
